Unfortunately the download link doesn't seem to be working ): (I also love web browser versions of games if that's possible!)
@chelc @hfsevans thanks for letting me know, after some kerfuflage there's a link to the itch.io page that I have actually tested and does appear to work this time.
Nice idea. Quite a lot of the vehicles kept spawning at the bottom right of the screen with no fuel however. Also at times I wouldn't have all the right vehicles to harvest so would just have to wait for one to spawn
From what I'm able to piece together, neat concept with managing all the different machines by dragging them around the screen. I like the art style and the minimalistic approach. I also like that you introduced things in a staged approach to allow learning what things did what instead of throwing everything out a the start. There's only so much you can do in a game jam but it could definitely use some background music and sound effects along with instructions or indicators to tell you what you need to do when the trucks fill up or the machines run out of gas.
Unfortunately, it does seem to have a lot of issues. I got that you can harvest the crops into the trucks with the harvester and plant the crops with the tractors but once it got to what to do with the machines when they were full or out of gas, it kind of broke down. I would send the trucks off the side and sometimes they would just come straight back, other times they would get emptied out but still out of gas or get their gas tanks filled without emptying their load. The main problem, however, is that I would send machines off the side to get more gas but then they would just never come back, to the point that I ended up with no machines left because they all ran out of gas.
Graphics were good, I was missing some sound and maybe some explanation of the extra vehicles that spawned. I was able to figure out some naturally, which felt good. Good submission.
The idea is fun and the game looks pretty great. The game feels a bit unfinished, but I still had fun trying it.
Really fun idea for a game. The function of the different tractors is fairly intuitive through the visual design and the pressure of managing multiple different trucks with fuel and different function makes it quite dynamic and challenging. Maybe a bit too much time pressure for a beginner, but the idea of starting with grown crops and only introducing the seed planting later was great to ease the players into it.
